Agenda Item #9 Title APPROVAL OF SUPPORT OF FSBA RESOLUTION IN OPPOSITION TO PROPOSED AMENDMENT 8 Description The Florida School Boards Association has adopted a resolution in opposition to Amendment 8 on the November 2012 General Election ballot. The FSBA's resolution states it is opposed to Amendment 8 for numerous reasons including the fact that it would divert financial resources from the vast majority of Florida's PreK-12 students, and would encourage the proliferation of voucher programs that are not subject to stringent accountability standards and have not been shown to be academically beneficial to students. Recommendation That the School Board express its formal support of the FSBA Resolution in opposition to proposed Amendment 8. Contact N/A Financial Impact N/A Attachment: amendment 8.pdf |
